This book is part one of a two-step process designed to allow the reader to evaluate their lives to date and to define a path going forwards that better satisfies their life aspirations.

This book identifies any possible need for change from the reader’s present lifestyle by examining what we mean by being entrepreneurial, understanding what stops us from behaving in an entrepreneurial way when living our life and uses situational analysis and exercises to determine the present level of entrepreneurial thinking and action in the reader’s life to date.

At the end of this book, if the reader has determined that there is a need for change then Preparing for Uniqueness will assist in the change process.

"Creating an Entrepreneurial Mindset" is a little gem that offers numerous invaluable insights to those willing and eager to build a better life. The book is written in a language that is accessible to the everyday person-- mother, father, employee, or laid-off person-- who is bursting with the desire to create a small business, but who does not know where to start, is, perhaps, a little bit intimidated by the whole buzz that surrounds the concept of entrepreneurship, and is a bit frightened of failing at a new venture.
There is a definite shift in the world, and even if we do not acknowledge it yet, we know that skills such as creative and integrative thinking, as well as the courage to embrace new opportunities that came our way, are what separate those who are stuck in the corporate life of the 20th century waiting to get directions from their bosses, from those who are developing integrated lives where work and leisure are aligned, as manifested in their glowing financial, physical and emotional wellbeing.

Roger Cowdrey shares analytical and creative tools developed over a lifetime of experience in numerous countries and on several continents, to support you to develop an entrepreneurial vision and a map around your deepest desires, talents, skills and values.

This book made me to redefine entrepreneurship as a mindset rather than just a business term. Moreover the book answers the question of "how to?" by recommending some useful tools to create an entrepreneurial mindset. In conclusion this book gives a great insight about how "ordinary" people can become entrepreneurs.
